IMPROVED AWNINGV.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 59,548, dated November 13, 1866.

To all lwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES C. BOWE, of the town of Urbana, in the county of Champaign and State ot' Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Awnings; and I do hereby declare that the following' is a full, clear, and exact description ot the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specifica-tion, in vwhich- Figure lis a perspective front view of the entire awning when spread, and Fig. 2 is a view of its detached parts, except canvas and cord.

Referring to drawings, Fig. 1, the part marked 1 is the arm attached to building at A, and attached to and supporting roller at B. That marked 2 is the sign-board, attached by pinion E to upper end ot' arm G. D is open pulley, attached to end of roller F and working on pinion in socket B. That marked 3 is cord, attached to building at G, passing round pulley D, thence through staple or pulley H, thence in a horizontal direction under canvas, through staple or pulley fastened to wall at a point optional, and thence down to fastening I. The cord at other end of awning, adjusted in the same manner, is at I connected with cord already described. At L are eyelets for attaching canvas to building by hooks, as fully shown in the one marked M.

Referring to drawings, Fig. 2, J is rod connecting arms marked l at the points marked K, and the front view of this portion of frame, when elevated and folded against building, is presented in drawings. l is end view of arm. F F is front View of roller with pulley D attached to ends. F D isA end View ot pulley and roller. 2 is front View of sign-board detached. E is end View of sign-board.

When it is desired to fold and roll up the awning, grasp with the hand the cords at I, and draw steadily till arms rise up or fold against the building and canvas is all wound smoothly and tightly on the roller, when the cords may loe fastened.

To unfold or extend the awning, unt'asten cords and allow the arlns and roller to come down and resume their former position.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the adjustable frame, Sign-board, canvas, and roller with pulley and cords, constructed and working as herein described.
